NBN EN ISO 204:2023

This document specifies the methods for:
a)    uninterrupted creep tests with continuous monitoring of extension;
b)    interrupted creep tests with periodic measurement of elongation;
c)    stress rupture tests where normally only the time to fracture is measured;
d)    a test to verify that a predetermined time can be exceeded under a given force, with the elongation or extension not necessarily being reported.
NOTE       A creep test can be continued until fracture has occurred or it can be stopped before fracture.
